Chapterhouse Studios’ New Custom Pieces for 40,000
August 29, 2011 by dracs
Chapterhouse Studios have some great new custom pieces suitable for use with your 40k minis, from extension kits for Stormravens to the women of the Imperial Guard.
First let's take a look at this new Stormraven kit.
This TRU-Scale Extension Kit will allow you to extend the hull of your Stormraven and even allow the addition of a grappling harness for a dreadnought.
If this wasn't enough to get excited about, check out this new Eldar-esque style miniature.
I think that this is a really nice looking sculpt and would be perfectly suited for use as an Eldar Exarch for the Striking Scorpions.
Finally, to finish off this look at their new releases we thought you might like to see one of their more unique conversion kits. Chapterhouse unleash the women of the Impereum (and anyone who has ever annoyed their girlfriend knows to be wary).
These are the Abbithan Banshees, an all female unit for the Imperial Guard. The kit provides you with 12 torsos, legs, backpacks and heads which can be combined with the arms and weapons of the Games Workshop Imperial Guard figures (especially the Cadian Imperial Guard).
So what do you all think of these? Any of you consider buying some of these pieces? Let us know your thoughts below.
Storm Raven kit is nice… gotta go check out a painted/finished example though.
Exarch is the best of the bunch! The IG Gurls — hmmm… not convinced!
YEAH! 😀
Ahhhh, that makes the Stormraven look much better!
Odd how they now have the stuff on the main site that is now named for the approprate 40k Models they are representing… Games Workshop must have lost the court case. 😕
Been waiting a long time for someone to make female soldiers to mix up the regular rankt with. The image doesn’t really give me a feel of the models though. Would like a closer look at the coversion pieces before running of and buying them.
The guard dont look very female. Maybe in the year 40k women’s features are simular to men, much like dwarfs and their bearded women.
Wow, some great stuff coming from Chapterhouse. The only thing that seems rather off beat is the ladies conversion parts. It might be that the arms need to be converted as well. Its the hands, think of Seifeld’s date with the “man hands” and you’ll see what I’m talking about.
i could have ordered the female guard minis earlier this summer, but i was working with my chaos army, this may just be enough to swtich armies for now, maybe, otherwise even though they look off, that can easily be explained if they take steroids to match the male guard conterparts on the feild so they are just as effective fighting an ork or other filthy enemy
Release some Chaos stuff god nammit! 😛
the preheresy stuff looks good with chaos marines
The IG models look no different from standard Cadians. The Exarch is amazing, however, though I don’t think that equipment is an option…..
Chain Sabres?
i can think of a few things that you can do, are noise weapons for noise marines, like the sonic blaster, doom serein, blast master,
